Look, how about acknowledging what the post was about? If Dom had made the MS sound as good as a PA2Xpro or T4 or Audya (or even a bloody G70
) OOTB, the line would have gone around the block, the city and the world! But he didn't. He left it to his customers to do what every other arranger company trusts to VERY talented and experienced people. And the end result is, NOBODY got it to sound good as an arranger.
Because, to be honest, if you are THAT talented and experienced, you aren't making a living playing arrangers! You make styles FOR MONEY. You make soundsets FOR MONEY. But you don't do it as a personal exercise.
Even you, Donny...
(look how you can't even find it in you to edit the T4 styles for your S910. Now imagine that, for an ENTIRE style set
)
Dom has a small window. He can either get it RIGHT now, or someone with a better style team and voicing team is going to make one that WORKS, just like an S910, and then no-one will remember that Dom had first crack at it. People tend to remember the winners, NOT the losers in any technology race. Arranger players OVERWHELMINGLY want a well voiced and styled arranger OOTB. After that, all the open stuff is great. But we have seen just exactly how popular the MS is.
Dom's doing a great job.... yeah, right!
If you bought one and it sounded as good as an Audya, or a T4, THEN he'd be doing a great job! And I'd have one, and so would you, and so would just about EVERYBODY here that could afford it.
Until then...
